The drive

East to the coast, then north past Bwejuu and Pingwe onto the peninsula. The last twenty minutes are a quiet coastal road with few vehicles.

Planning your arrival in Michamvi

Michamvi faces west, so it is the one east-coast base where the sunset happens in front of you. The Rock at Pingwe is on the way in — if you want to eat there, reserve before you travel; walk-ins are often turned away.

What happens after you book

1. You choose your hotel and vehicle, and see the fixed fare before paying.
2. We confirm the driver and pickup details on WhatsApp.
3. Your driver meets you in the arrivals hall with your name — flight delays are tracked, so nobody leaves without you.
4. The ride appears in My Rafiki with the driver's details and live tracking.

Fares depend on your exact hotel and vehicle, so RAFIKI quotes them live rather than publishing a list that goes out of date.
